    About this ebook

    When did we start referring our brothers and sisters to the world for counseling? When did Christian counselors stop believing that His Word had everything we need for life and godliness? When did they start going to the world for their guidance and approved methodology for counseling? Psychiatry and psychology have consistently asserted that people should be “salvaged” from the chains of religious upbringing and moral restraint. However, studies show positive moral and emotional benefits for those with religious faith. Churches and parishioners taking back control of their religions from psychiatry and psychology will accomplish the return to a morally and spiritually strong society.

    This is a very practical book not only for lay leaders and pastoral counselors, but for every Christian who desires to help their brethren who has suffered under the hands of secular psychology and psychiatric drug addiction.

      FORWARD

      This short but concise book on Biblical Counseling heralds both a warning as well as clarion call to all Pastors and Christians alike to return to the sufficiency of God's most Holy Word and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit for all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).

      The false, pagan, pseudo-scientific teaching of mental illness is not only one the most deeply anti-Christian and widespread seductions in the history of Mankind, and which has permeated every level of our society, but also is one of the most deceptively dangerous and diabolical attacks upon a Christian's creative and redemptive identity.

      All so-called mental illness diagnosis by psychiatrists are purely fictitious or syndromal (i.e. not REAL disease) diagnosis that are designed to empower Psychiatry (as a dangerous pseudo-science) and to make you and your children life-time consumers of drugs by Big Pharma. So-called mental illnesses are not only diabolical attacks upon a person's mind they are also diabolical distortions of one's identity once you accept them and they become internalized. The FDA, Big Pharma, and the APA (American Psychiatric Association) is one of the most unholy, most corrupt alliances in the history of civilization.

      The secular Mental Health agenda is a powerfully deceptive idol of our time - like Nationalism was in Nazi Germany. Mental Health Education, Mental Health Screening and Mental Health Awareness is all about making pseudo-scientific (and identity attacking) so-called psychiatric diagnosis in order to sell dangerous and highly addictive drugs to adults and children as well as to maintain the evil power, hegemony and status of Psychiatry within society as the controllers of mental life.

      Moreover, secular Psychiatry (and its handmaiden of secular Psychology) is not only a dangerous, false-pagan religion that seeks to destroy the one, true, Christian religion but also Big Pharma is the highly paid false prophet that speaks on behalf of the idol of Mental Health and the god of Atheistic Naturalism that reigns within Science, Law, and Education. If you truly value both your physical and spiritual life and health have NOTHING to do with Psychiatry and psychiatric drugs.

      Also, have absolutely NOTHING to do with the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Made-up Disorders) otherwise known as the Bible of Psychiatry. The DSM is, in truth, a Demonic and Satanic Manual of Disordered personalities waiting to possess you or your children's core identity for a life time. The DSM is mainly a tool of Big Pharma to deceive the masses into becoming life-long drug addicts (slaves) to Big Pharma. And also, it is a deceptive attempt, by psychiatrists, to legitimize Psychiatry as a so-called medical specialty in the eyes of society.

      Big Pharma is NOT interested in a cure but rather to manage your symptoms for a life-time. In other words, you become the perfect patient (as a slave or addict) for the drug companies, and wherein the psychiatrists legitimize their sorcery or witch-doctoring as mainstream medicine.

      Therefore, seek out a wise, and God-fearing, Christian-Pastoral Counselor, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom (Acts 6:3), who will NOT refer to a psychiatrist but instead will diligently adhere to the Word of the Lord, as clearly laid out in this small book, as Guiding Principles For Biblical Counseling.

      PREFACE

      For many years, since the conception of my work as a pastor and counselor I have been personally troubled that many of my fellow pastors were starting to refer rather than counsel their flock from the Bible. Week after week I personally witnessed confused and hurting people coming from secular counselors seeking understanding and clarity concerning their emotional problems. Over the years I labored intensely against what appeared to be a tidal wave of deception that was making gains on the local church causing even more pastors to start referring the flock instead of counseling them from God’s anointed Word. I am convinced, if the Christian church is ever to take back ministering to the soul from the professionals of psychology, then it’s time to allow God’s Word to speak directly to the soul. Yet, the problem was, there has not been a concise manual on how to counsel from the Bible alone without mixing in the methodology of secular counseling. After writing my first book on the subject, Stand Firm, Godly Counsel for the Last Days I begin to witness a genuine interest among Christians of
